Eradicate the insulting term “BAME”

The term “BAME” alienates us from the wider community.

Our unique differences, religious practices culture structures and inequalities need to be acknowledged separately and not encaged.

We are not the same! This is the year 2020 not 1764

We are NOT the same, we shouldn’t need to explain this in 2020

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The Government is not responsible for determining how ethnic minorities are referred to.

The Government's guidance on writing about ethnicity already states that it does not use BAME or BME for a number of reasons: https://www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk/style-guide/writing-about-ethnicity

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
